Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 321 Tell You a Wife
After lunch, the group went to the post house in the county town and saw the three camels.

At first glance, he looked good. Meng Changqing took a closer look at his eyes and teeth, then felt a little disappointed. It was a pity that Zhong Ming could not be considered a native of Beishan County.

She didn't know much about camels, but luckily Cao Hongxing was a down-to-earth man. He called the person who had been raising the three camels and asked him to tell her the truth.

It was learned that the three camels were of similar age, all of them were adult camels of twelve or thirteen years old. They had no health problems, but they were often not well fed and looked a little thin.

Bafang touched one of the horses and looked at Cao Hongxing with shining eyes.

"If you want to ride, then ride." Cao Hongxing turned around and told the people at the post station, "Put the saddle on the camel."

Bafang was strolling in the yard on his camel, and Meng Changqing took this opportunity to thank Cao Hongxing.

Cao Hongxing waved his hand and said, "I am also following the arrangements of the prefect. Besides, these camels belong to the post stations in various places and cannot be used for other purposes.

The Red Sand Death Zone has continued to expand over the years, and it is completely impossible for humans to stay there, so I have no use for them.

It just so happens that Lord Meng needs it, so we don’t have to bother sending these camels further away.”

"Lord Cao is kind and compassionate, not only caring about the people under his rule..."

Cao Hongxing didn't like to hear such words, so he turned around and said to Meng Changqing: "I thought Lord Meng was very busy recently, but I didn't expect that he would come to Weishan County in person just for these three camels."

Cao Hongxing soon regretted saying this, because half an hour later, Meng Changqing not only took away the three camels, but also took away the things on the three carts, saying that he would borrow them for road construction and would definitely return them after use.

Beishan County.

Next to the official road under construction, there is a temporary shack.

Song Xiyu was pulled in by his men.

Looking at the sneaky grandson in front of him, Song Xiyu looked impatient, "What is it that must be said here?"

Sun Zixiao lowered his voice and leaned in front of Song Xiyu, "Song Boss, how about I find you a matchmaker?"

Song Xiyu frowned, with a look of rejection on her face, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm married."

Sun Zixiao continued to stick to him and said, "But sister-in-law won't come to Beishan County. Look at those brothers who have women to take care of them. They all go to women's arms as soon as they are on duty. There is nothing in Beishan County. Brothers are not allowed to gamble or joke with each other. There is no other fun except that." At this point, Song Zixiao smiled obscenely, "There is a good-looking woman in Anxi Village. She is young and not bad-looking... Sister-in-law is taking care of your parents in her hometown, and you also need someone to take care of you, right?"

When Song Xiyu heard this, she was still very defensive. "What do you mean?"

"You can start a new family in Beishan County." Sun Zixiao said, "If you don't tell me, I think Lord Meng doesn't know that you are married."

Song Xiyu squinted at him and asked, "What can you get from doing this for me?"

"I just want you to turn a blind eye and let me make a few cents."

"All the money passes through Chief Zuo's hands. How do you make money?" Song Xiyu became curious.

"I have my own way." Sun Zixiao did not say it clearly, "No matter how much I earn, you will get a share of it."

That evening, Zheng Xidong received his wages and left work. Before he got home, he gave the wages to his father. His father's back was soaked, and there were salt stains on his dark clothes.

His father worked the hardest at home, with a first-class work badge, and came home every day so tired that he could hardly lift his arms.

Zheng Jiasheng said, "Take a bath when you get home. Your mother has gone back to boil water."

Zheng Xidong was puzzled, "Why take a bath at this time?"

"Your uncle has introduced you to a girl. He will come to our house to meet her later. She is from the government. I asked your mother to lend you some clothes. Put them on after you take a shower."

"Someone from the government?" Zheng Xidong couldn't understand it even more. "Would someone from the government like me? Could my uncle be so kind?"

"You kid, he is your uncle after all, your father's brother, he won't hurt you." Zheng Jiasheng sighed, "your aunt and her family were like that a few years ago, your uncle must have lived a miserable life alone."

Zheng Xidong's eyes were full of disapproval, "He asked for it."

Zheng Jiasheng's expression became stern, "How can you talk like that? Do you still have your elders in your eyes?"

Zheng Xidong didn't want to say more to him, so he took a few quick steps and went home first.

In the end, he was unable to convince his parents, so he took a shower, changed into borrowed clothes, and watched his family hurriedly preparing dinner. Zheng Xidong didn't know how he should feel.
